Welcome!

Order code: Irrelevant
Type: Retail means it’s been “pre-sold” to you, not up for grabs
Priority code: Very important. 19 is the lowest priority for retail orders. Ask to be changed to a 10 (highest priority), or 1 (emergency high priority).
Price Level: Irrelevant

You can & should pre-negotiation the price now. Majority of members here have agreed to price beforehand with dealer, you should use a discount program like X Plan or Costco if you want a low price without negotiation.
My understanding (reading the Blue Oval forum) is that priority number 19 is not an issue unless the dealer ordered another Ranger with a lower priority number. Priority numbers only apply to the same model that that particular dealer ordered. IOW, if the dealer placed three orders with Ford... say Ranger A with Priority 19, Ranger B with priority 12 and an Edge with a priority of 10, Ranger B would receive priority over Ranger A but the Edge is not involved because it is a different model. Also, the Ford ordering system defaults with Priority 19.

Hello. I'm Arturs from Chicago and I own a 2006 Ranger with only 65K miles manual transmission. I'm very interested in getting a 2019 Ranger. I'm curious about the height of the 2019 Ranger. My 2006 antenna bangs off the garage door every time I pull in or out. I have a door clearance of 6 feet. Will I be able to fit a 2019 in my garage?

Cab height on the 2019 Ranger SuperCrew 4x4 is 71.8 in. I'm not sure if that includes the antenna or not.

'14 Toyota 4Runner Trail edition / '04 Nissan Frontier / '96 Toyota Land Cruiser
Hey folks! My name is Jose and I'm from California. Need to be honest, I've been a hardcore Toyota fanboy (and Nissan) for years and swore off the big 3 brands a long time ago (Chevy/Ford/Dodge). My current daily driver is a 2004 Nissan Frontier and my wife drives a 2014 Toyota 4runner Trail edition .

I've been looking for a new truck to replace my Frontier as I'm in need of an upgrade. Truck still runs great this to this day but it's only luxury feature is power door locks and these trucks have aged like milk in terms of overall looks. The new Frontiers aren't even an option anymore and I'm not really fond of what Toyota is doing these days with their trucks. The current Tacoma feels like a step backwards from our 5yr old 4runner and I feel like it desperately needs a new drivetrain. It seems like Toyota uses their reliability and resale value as an excuse to keep using the same, tired engines year after year with no advancements in tech.

So that's led me to take a harder look at the other brands and I gotta say this new Ranger seems to check all the boxes except for the interior. The center stack and center console seem really outdated and more of an afterthought, but I can live with that. I'm thinking of picking up a Lariat FX4 sometime next year but I do wanna wait and see to test drive one and see initial reactions from members here.

So who knows, maybe I'll be back in a Ford soon enough :)

Here's our 4runner, no complaints about this one, we love everything about it.

Amazing how life can change so quickly in a split second. Needless to say having to replace my wife's daily driver was not in the plan so it will probably delay my purchase for a few months.

Rear-ended by a drunk driver at a very very high rate of speed. I'm just lucky to be alive.

RIP ol' girl

I don't think the 2019 will fit in your garage. It does not fit in mine and I have about the same garage height. The antenna is about 3-4 inches tall but it is a hard antenna and I seen that someone posted that height is 71.8 inches. I will measure it this evening and see if I can get you an exact measurement.
